[Geany] grep2ack.pl - use 'ack' for Find in Files

Hi,
Just to mention I wrote a little script (attached) to use as Geany's
Grep tool that converts the Find in Files options to 'ack' format, then
runs ack.

(See http://betterthangrep.com/ for info on ack).

Useful to easily ignore version control directories, use Perl regular
expressions, etc.

The script is by no means perfect:
* Currently it hangs Geany whilst looking for search results - maybe a
  Perl expert can work out how to fix this though?
* Only tested with ack 1.78
* No support for ack --thpppt ;-)

Regards,
Nick
